My brother Michael is one of less than a hundred people left in this country who still hand-cane chairs. Caning is both a skill and an art form, and my brother is a master. Michael will be giving a caning demonstration Saturday, June 25, at the Farmers Market. Bring your chairs and questions to the Market and get an expert’s opinion.

Meet Pseudotriton ruber ruber, the northern red salamander. I found this nifty newt on the mulch pile this morning.

Remember this number: 811.000.00. You’ll be seeing it again soon. There are a few people in this county who will be seeing this number in their sleep.
